So about half of the U.S. doesn't want to have a God fearing Christian in the White House.

I'm all for Palin cleaning house, the White House.

Kind of low of you to imply that Obama isn't a Christian just because his political beliefs differ from yours. If anything, his social policies are closer in line to what Jesus himself taught.
For me, it's their ability, competence and where they stand on the issues rather than what their religious faith that's important. Some people would vote for a chimp if it happened to be running on the republican ticket while waving around a bible in one paw, and a flag in the other. Also, perhaps the other 50% would like to retain the values that define this nation rather than see them undermined by religious fundamentalism.

Have you ever thought that maybe 50% of Americans don't want a religious zealot in it's highest office and that they perhaps understand the seperartion of Church and State. Remember that this is only a favorability poll. Many people haven't seen her "Iraq war is a task from God" tirade that makes a mockery of common sense...This will all come out. As will her intention of banning books from the local library when Mayor of Wasilla and her subsequent intention of firing the woman that would not ban the books.

What is wrong with people liking the R VP candidate? Is it so horrible some people may have differing opinions?

Do you really think her religion is the main reason?

Yes

We can't fool ourselves into thinking people look past one's religious beliefs, which are, more often than not, very closely tied to political beliefs.

A God fearing woman or man will do more to defend this nation than one that is not, and will also strive to keep it economically sound, more so than a non God fearing candidate.

Obama says he's Christian, but does he pray, fast, pay tithes and offerings, etc., these are all key issues to prosperity in this land, according to the Book of Mormon.

"If ye keep my commandments ye shall prosper in the land"

This phrase is repeated about 10 times throughout the Book of Mormon.

There are so many bad puns and sexist comments available from this statement, but I'm struggling manfully to be good and not go there...........

This makes me miss the "old" John McCain of 2000. The one that called the Religious Right "agents of intolerance." The "old" John McCain sure would have had something to say about your above post, and I have a feeling that it would not be in your favor...

No, no, no, that is too 60's. Those days are gone.

Nope, the Jesus of today, according to Republicans, if one can estimate what is going in their heads, would be like like Rick Warren. Whoelse could have commanded the two candidates to the presidency to come to his Saddleback, and grilled them for an hour on their morals? You think a pinko liberal hippy could do that? No way. The Today Jesus would attract 10,000 devotees every Sunday, with millions on the small screen, ergh, correction, the big screen, with millions of USD pouring in every year. He would make the top 10 in the Fortune 500 list, or else he wouldn't be Jesus...
